Outrider

Outrider builds autonomous electric trucks and yard management software for distribution yards and logistics hubs. Its vehicles are designed to take over the repetitive and often dangerous work performed in these sites - moving trailers and coordinating yard traffic - freeing human workers from manual tasks and reducing the risk of injury. The company frames zero-emission freight transport as central to the future of logistics.

The offering combines three elements: electric, self-driving yard trucks; management software that coordinates yard operations; and integrated site infrastructure that allows the full set of yard activities to be automated end to end. The software is designed to work with both the vehicles and the surrounding site systems, so that movements, scheduling and yard workflows are handled as a single operation. Autonomous trucks have been deployed at customer sites.

The work spans several technical fields: autonomous vehicles and self-driving technology, electric vehicle engineering, logistics management software, industrial automation and yard operations systems. Operating across logistics, freight transportation, distribution yards and supply chain and warehousing, the company describes its culture as team-oriented and focused on complex, real-world problems, on keeping freight moving efficiently, and on eliminating dangerous manual work.
